Message by Chairman, IVSC

Sir David Tweedie
Chairman IVSC, U.K.

The launch of IVS 2017 was a major milestone in the
IVSC’s mission to achieve global consistency and transparency
in valuation. Since then, many valuation professional
organisations (VPOs) in this region and throughout
the world – including in Europe, Americas and the
Middle East – have adopted, or are in the process of
adopting IVS. As they do, valuation users and providers,
market regulators, and the public at large are gaining
further confidence in the quality and professionalism
underpinning valuation.

Since its inception in the early 1980’s, the IVSC has established
an international network of partners, all striving
for the same goal: a robust and respected valuation profession,
built on high-quality and internationally agreed
standards. In recent years, this network has grown to include
many more responsible and respected organisations
across Asia.

The IVSC-WAVO Global Valuation Conference 2018 in
Singapore is a further sign of strengthening partnerships
and shared ambitions across the region. As a platform,
the conference will empower our profession to promote
and celebrate international standards, whilst championing
the qualifications, training and education offered to
valuers through VPOs such as WAVO.

I look forward to meeting many of you during the conference,
and to working with you all as we continue to elevate
and advance the valuation profession on the global
stage.

Message by Executive President, WAVO

Dr Lim Lan Yuan
Executive President, WAVO

This inaugural IVSC-WAVO Global Valuation Conference
2018 is an important collaboration between
two key global organisations to develop the valuation
profession, and enhance its professionalism throughout
the world, and the adoption of a single set of an
international valuation standards. It evolves from
the landmark signing of the Memorandum of Collaboration
between the WAVO and the IVSC in November
2016 as a critical step forward towards the recognition
of global standards and competence in the
valuation profession.

With Singapore as host country for the inaugural
conference, it is a significant global recognition
not only for the valuation profession in Singapore
but also for the SISV for which the Institute is
both a member of the WAVO and IVSC. This inaugural
Conference of global congregation of valuers is
most timely and this is where new ideas will be
mooted that will help shape the future of the valuation
industry not only in Singapore but also in
the region and the world.

Finally I would like to take this opportunity to warmly
welcome all to Singapore and to have an effective
fruitful participation for everyone in this inaugural
Conference.
